Robert Michael Houston, age 64, died on Friday, June 17th. “Mike” was born on Feb. 3rd, 1958 in Covington, KY to Louise and George Houston. He graduated from Murray State University in 1980 with a BS degree in Horticulture. After college, Mike began working for ADT Security Systems, (later Tyco, Johnson Controls), in various positions. He spent 37 years serving these companies in Cincinnati, OH, Indianapolis, IN, and Kansas City, MO. Over the years, Mike developed many special relationships with his colleagues across the country, and was a highly respected employee. Once someone became Mike’s friend, they were a friend for life. This was especially true of his best pals, “Buddy” Versoza, and Jeff Husk. Mike played numerous sports, and was a HUGE Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds fan. It is said that he was a strong contender in any Sports Trivia discussion. Mike also enjoyed working with the Big Brother program. Mike loved to spend time with his relatives, and was a “Favorite Uncle” to Lindsay, and Patrick and their own children, whom he adored.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Louise and George Houston. He is survived by one sister, Lee Ann (Tim) Sullivan, Charleston, SC, a niece, Lindsay (William) Powell, Hartsville, SC, a nephew, Patrick (Caitlin) Sullivan, Asheville, NC, and 3 great nieces and nephews.
